Former Sports Minister Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye has admonished current Sports Minister Kofi Adams to ensure that no player who features for any of the national teams is paid in foreign currency.
Over the years, national team players, especially the Black Stars have been paid in dollars.
Speaking in an interview with GHOne TV on Monday, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye proposed that every Black Stars and Black Queens player should have a local bank account.
He is of the view that for a country that has cedi as its currency, national team players should be paid with cedis into their local bank accounts.
“Every Black Stars and Black Queens player must have a local bank account, we must stop paying our players in foreign currencies,” he said.
It is unclear if this proposal will be adopted by new Sports Minister Kofi Adams or not.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars will return to action later this month in the Unity Cup in London.
The four-nation tournament will feature Ghana, Nigeria, Jamaica, as well as Trinidad and Tobago.
